About
Constructed over a 500-year period mainly during the 12th and 17th centuries, the Walls of Dubrovnik are amongst the most extensive and well-preserved fortifications in Europe. Stretching over 6000 feet, the uninterrupted course offers fantastic views of the coastal city. There's little shelter from the sun, so visit during the cooler months or evenings to beat the heat and for fewer crowds. You can purchase tickets from any City Wall entrance, but a Dubrovnik Pass is convenient and offers great value. A guided tour also often includes a walking tour of the Old Town as well. – Tripadvisor

It was hot, fysical and the views were stunning! We really enjoyed the walk on the walls. Make sure you go later on in the evening of very early in the morning. This way you enjoy it much more. Bring your own water, the prices on the walls are sky high.

This is certainly one of the most scenic walks in Europe! It took us nearly 2hrs to walk to the entire length of the walls. The views are stunning and seem to get better and better as you walk around. There are plenty of stopping places to sit and admire the views.

It cost 300HRK to enter the walls. But with our Dubrovnik pass it was actually free as the card costs 300HRK and gets you access to loads of different places. There are many bars along the walls if you wanted a to sit and have a drink, however they are highly priced so I recommend just taking some snacks and drink with you.

make sure you visit the Tvrđava Minčeta tower along the walls for the best views. (its the highest point of the walls). If you are in Dubrovnik this is a must

During the winter time (until the end of February) the price of the Walls is quite affordable - it costed 15€ per person, but I heard that from March onward will be about 35€ per person. It seems quite expensive, but - it took us almost 2 hours to walk through whole wall, we took great pictures (you won't get such good pictures from anywhere else, I promise!) and we were told that ticket lasts for 3 days.

Also, the ticket included visit to the Lovrijenac tower (St. Lawrence Fortress) that is located outside of the walls (maybe 10-15 min walk from the Walls), so I can tell you, to me it was worth every penny we paid. I would also recommend to visit during the winter, when is not so overcrowded with tourists, as you can take really nice photos and take your time to walk through whole walls without felling any pressure.
Also, somewhere in the half of the Walls there is toilet (someone in the earlier reviews said there weren't any), but caffes were closed in this period.

While might say I climbed the wall, it is a long walk and very crowded with noisy cruise ship people in a hurry. Didn't gain anything more than a long wander around the town, which was free..

These old medieval walls were the highlight of my visit to Dubrovnik. Take your time when you walk around as there are so many beautiful postcard views and take lots of photos! I also went into and climbed Minceta Tower, which also gives some incredible views of the city. Just be aware that there are parts of the wall that have a lot of steps that require a lot of climbing.

A unique experience! Start early at the entrance near the Fortress of St. John. After you finished the walls and if you have the Dubrovnik Pass visit the Maritime Museum and head to the Rector's Palace, Treasury of the Cathedral, Jesuit Stairway, Great Granary, House of Marin Držić, Sephardic Synagogue, Franciscan Monastery, and finish with Fortress of St. Lawrence. You wouldn't miss anything and you won't backtrack. At the End, treat yourself to dinner and wine. Enjoy Dubrovnik!

Amazing walk on top of the wall. Started by Ploce gate and came down at St. John's. It is a "one way" walk so we did the majority of the wall this way. The views were amazing from every angle. I especially loved the views of the city roofs and the section of wall by the sea.

It was a rainy day with choppy waves, but the photos came out great and it wasn't hot this time of year. It was also not crowded. It wasn't too strenuous, sections of the wall go up and down gradually. It was pretty expensive at over $30 per person but well worth it.

We started shortly after 9.00 on a Sunday morning. There were a few people on the walls, but plenty of space to take our time and stop and take in the views. We took plenty of photos and took our time, and we did the complete wall in just over 2 hours. We didn't stop of drinks, but there were a couple of places where people could stop for refreshments. We started at the Pile gate, but you can also start at the Ploce gate. The best thing to do is buy a Dubrovnik Pass, unless you are only going to do the walls, as it will give you free access to a number of other sites. After completing the walls, there are plenty of places on Stradum or just outside the Pile gate to get a drink.

Try to go in the morning before the cruise ship passengers get into town. Fabulous views over the whole city.
